Re: Were They Nu-Metal?
I'm assuming Tool's musicianship keeps them out of this realm and closer to the prog world, but what is APC? They seem in the ballpark of some of this post-grunge stuff to me...durdencommatyler wrote:Oh thank godLoathedVermin72 wrote:Absolutely not

Re: Were They Nu-Metal?
That's what I meant -- the complex suites, the odd time signatures, the technicalities -- things that are components of "musicianship," I'd say.tragabigzanda wrote:i agree they are prog-rock, but it's not the musicianship, it's the songwritingKevin Davis wrote:I'm assuming Tool's musicianship keeps them out of this realm and closer to the prog worlddurdencommatyler wrote:Oh thank godLoathedVermin72 wrote:Absolutely not
I'd love Tool if it wasn't for Maynard.

Tool is a mix of Alternative Metal and Progressive Metal. APC is mostly just Alternative Metal/Rock.

Did nu stand for something or was it just a trendy late 90s way to spell new

Re: Were They Nu-Metal?
Speaking of APC, I think the music video for "Judith" might be my favorite performance-based music video of all time. So much of it is about the process of performance, focusing on the little moments -- adjusting the sound board, the guitarist picking up the slide, Paz tying her hair up during her brief break, Maynard setting the water bottle down. I wish it didn't have the goofy film effects but it's really good otherwise.
